JHipster release 4.14.0

What’s new

The big news is that this is the last 4.x release from the master branch. Starting now, our focus will be JHipster 5, and JHipster 4 will be in maintenance mode: we will do patches if necessary, but the main development work will be on JHipster 5.

For the record, JHipster 5 will focus on Spring Boot 2 and on React. Angular will still be a first-class citizen, but AngularJS will be excluded from the main project (you will still be able to use AngularJS as an external “blueprint”, which is a new system that will be published with JHipster 5).

React support is still “experimental”, so you need to run jhipster --experimental to enable React support. This is not complete yet, but we are quickly moving forward, so you can already have a good taste of JHipster 5 here. And if you’re a React expert, don’t hesitate to contribute!
